California Court of Appeal

Judgment entered in favor of defendant-doctor on plaintiff's wrongful death claim is affirmed, where the trial court did not err in allowing defendant-doctor to present evidence and argument to the jury that a ventilator malfunction was the cause of death, not the negligence of defendant-doctor, even though defendant-hospital previously obtained a nonsuit on the ground that plaintiffs failed to offer any evidence as to its standard of care regarding the alleged ventilator malfunction.
